"Thank you for the presents," I say
"Your plan, your spoils," Kavax declares
"With us taking a percentage, naturally," Daxo adds, solden eyebrows "Fifty percent finder’s fee" I glance at him with amusement "Well, thirty percent, because Pax liked you"
"Ten percent!" Kavax boootiator, Praetor"
He shrugs around He tosses Sophocles at the him to vanquish them all
"Twenty" Daxo splays his hands, histo a thinner, more bookish man "That is fair, no? We lost a hundred and sixty house Grays and thirteen Obsidians"
"Then thirty percent to cole!" Kavax proclaile" He claps ain "If only we had caught Aja That’d be a spoil to divide!"

"No Sorry"
"Ragnar there took command Did himself well," Daxo says
"Took command?" I ask
Kavax explains "There was a kill squad of Peerless Half a dozen Bellona blade dancers, real noble boys, carved up all our Golds and most of the Obsidians The Stained there collected the surviving Grays and a few Obsidians and et the ship"
"Any of these blade dancers survive?"
"No"

Daxo hesitates "What do you mean?"
"Could he lead absent a Gold?"
Daxo and Kavax share a worried glance "What would be the benefit in that?" Daxo asks
"I could send him places I could not send Golds"
"There is no such place" Kavax crosses his aro too far
